Better soundproofing in the room would be good, though I understand it’s difficult to do in a historic building

Great historic building in a very historic neighborhood. The hotel has a beautiful pool

Great value for money, spacious, clean and comfortable room. The staff were friendly and very accomodating. We'd happily stay here again.

Nothing really significant. Although there’s a window in the room but I’m wishing there’s a glass/screen on the window for sunlight to get in the room and to appreciate the view outside without letting in flying insects.

It has an ambience of nostalgia. But still cozy. Had good night sleep every night. Less crowded. Lots of chairs and tables outside the room for us to spend day or night just lounging. The internet signal very strong anywhere within the property. The food was great. The staff very accommodating. Location is great as it’s about walking distance to the main town center. But if one wants to go to malls which are just a few kilometers away, there’s a public transportation (motorized tricycles) available outside.

Not really didn't like, but you just need to know that since Taal is an old town, streets are narrow. The restaurant closes early, and you need to be patient with your order.

Heritage house, friendly staff, nice rooms, clean, nice breakfast.

It was like travelling back in time! The whole house was a showcase of the grand old days! The creativity and artistry of the Filipinos could be seen in even the smallest details of the house. A walk through time and history, for sure! And the staff! They were the ultimate in making our stay comfortable. The warmth and friendliness of everyone felt like we were coming home to family and not just visiting. A big thank you to Leonard, Roselyn, Marian, Bisoy and everyone else I did not manage to get the name of! You all deserve 5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The annex family villa where we stayed is quite far from main... We don't have a car, but they provided shuttle service to transport us to and fro the main hotel where the swimming pool and breakfast are located... There's no private pool in the annex family villa even though the posting shows it.

Staff are very accomodating, super friendly and polite, warm hospitality, food is delicious, place is clean and cozy... It's like staying in a museum. Swimming pool and facilities are clean. We enjoyed our stay.

The mattress used in one of the beds has seen the best of times, so to speak. May the management find it soon and replace promptly

Paradores is a jewel of a hotel in Taal. Its an aura of magical vintage ness that exudes the opulent Filipino spirit. Every guest will be billeted to experiences of walking back in time, Philippine scene, by this hotel.

The view was non-existant. It was a little buggy in the garden.

The breakfast was wonderful and I love the historic ambience and the neighborhood.

There was a little problem with the A/C initially but it was quickly resolved. Shower water pressure can be improved.

It was our second time in this establishment. There was no swimming pool yet in the past and the restaurant has gone bigger and better. The location is expectedly excellent because it is right at the center where interesting spots can be reached through walking. Very nice view at the deck. The room is very clean and the food (buffet breakfast) was excellent. Very warm and helpful staff.

The, otherwise very good, restaurant of PDC closes a bit too early, and you definitely feel that the kind staff is paid ZERO hours beyond end of service time. "Last orders' at 7:30 PM is a bit exaggerated. Not that patrons should be allowed to keep staff available until after midnight, but a little more flexibility wouldn't hurt. If you have any specific requests, like Senior Citizen discount, better book directly via the PDC website. Via booking.com these requests cannot be taken into consideration on arrival.

In general, everything. Paradores del Castillo is an excellent place to stay whenever you want to visit Taal, the somewhat quaint, but noble, ancient capital of the Philippines. We have stayed at PDC on earlier occasions, and the staff is excellent: kind, accommodating, flexible. The rooms may not be big in surface, but are well laid out, and it's nice to relax in this ancient ancestral home.

For a historical town there should be a cafe open selling an authentic barako coffee early in the morning. Just like in Europe but maybe thats just me.

Staff are polite & friendly, helpful & professional. Hotel is clean, historical. Breakfast is superbly local. Swimming pool is clean. Location is at the town centre
